I have also been nominated for awards on my other blog, asifoscope.org.

I am happy that what I am doing here is inspirational for some people and I feel honored by these awards.

However, I have decided not to pass on any awards. If everybody who receives an award would pass them on, nearly everybody in the bloggosphere would soon do nothing else than receiving and passing awards. Awards are meaningful only if they are scarce and they remain so only if many, or probably most, people receiving them do not pass them on. This does, of course, not mean that I do not appreciate many of my fellow bloggers and the wonderful things they post!
